The teen's attorney at Eskew Law Firm says it was his first meeting with the suspect.

Sheriff Mark Bowen said the correction officer who was working the facility's control room was trying to activate a camera in the visitation room and could not get it to work on it its own, so she activated the intercom to get the camera running.

Sheriff Bowen says once the officer realized the conversation was audible she turned the volume down as low as it could go so the conversation could not be overheard further.
